Which famous droid features on the new Star Wars Classic coins?

Following the runaway success of the R2D2 coins in our Star Wars Classic collection, we are thrilled to bring to market the next equally famous Star Wars Droid – C-3PO! These dramatic limited edition fine gold and silver coins feature C-3PO, with his unlikely counterpart R2-D2, in Star Wars: A New Hope.

About C3POFluent in over six million forms of communication, the golden protocol Droid C-3PO (See-Threepio) has become an essential companion of his master Luke Skywalker and to the Rebel Alliance. Since Luke's own Uncle Owen purchased the droid from a band of Jawas on Tatooine, Threepio has accompanied Luke and the Rebellion throughout the galaxy in their fight for freedom. He is rarely seen without his squat counterpart R2-D2, and together, the two make a remarkably capable team. Because of Artoo's limited communication abilities, Threepio must often interpret his companion’s electronic sounds for his human masters. Though preferring to remain far from any potential threat, the anxious droid frequently finds himself in the midst of the action. It is Threepio who first learns of Imperial occupation on Cloud City, but the fretful Droid is disabled before he can warn his friends. Later, on the forest moon of Endor, Threepio helps convince the Ewoks to fight alongside the Rebellion in what will be the decisive victory over the Galactic Empire and the beginning of a new era of peace in the galaxy.

All coins come in high-quality Star Wars branded and stylized packaging – making them an ideal gift for any Star Wars fan or coin collector. Why not start, or add C-3PO to, your collection today!
